Snowflake Wishes for the Pals Blog Hop

December 9, 2020December 9, 2020 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 19 Comments

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team created projects showing “My Favorite Things” from any of the two current catalogs or the upcoming catalog in January. We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

One of my favorite things to make is fun fold cards. I used the gorgeous Snowflake Wishes Bundle to create a lighted easel tent card for Christmas. Stampin' Up! Snowflake Wishes light up fun fold Christmas card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This card would look great on a mantel or end table. It could also serve as a great little nightlight in a kids room or bathroom. I embossed a piece of vellum for the center piece using the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. When the card is closed you get a peek at the sentiment on the inside.

Here’s a few more photos showing the inside.

I stamped a snowflake on the inside where the tea light goes (just in case the recipient wondered where to place it. LOL) I cut a strip from the foam adhesive sheets to pop up the sentiment. The sentiment is cut using the stitched rectangle die from Ornate Layers. (That’s another set with some awesome dies!) I added the die cut snowflakes using mini glue dots and accented with Rhinestone Basic Jewels. I think this card looks pretty even when it’s not lit up!

The Snowflake Wishes Stamp Set and So Many Snowflakes Dies are not retiring; however, the bundle is retiring so if you want to save that extra 10% (and of course you do!!!) you need to purchase it by Jan. 4th.

The sentiments in this set are great for Christmas, friendship, thank you cards, and more! The “appropriately named” So Many Snowflake Dies are so unique (just like snowflakes)! I shared another card I made with this set yesterday. You can view it HERE.

Check back tomorrow for more details! Another one of my favorite things is a SALE! Don’t forget to check out the Clearance items and Year-End Closeout Sale. The Winter Snow Embossing Folder and Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper I used on today’s card are retiring and on sale while supplies last! You can view the list of products I used below.

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for our next blog hop on January 13th when our theme will be Time to Sale-A-Brate. Participants will showcase tags or 3D items that will be great for gifts for any occasion. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft room.

Ornate Garden Thanks and Note Card Tips & Tricks

April 13, 2020April 13, 2020 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 4 Comments

I love Stampin’ Up! note cards & envelopes! You get 20 cards & envelopes in a pack all scored and ready to go! They are my “go to” favorite for thank you cards as well as quick & easy (and economical!) for when you need to make multiple cards! I have been “sheltering in place” and making many cards lately to send to friends, family, nursing homes, and our essential workers. Here’s a note card I made with the gorgeous new Ornate Garden Suite.

Stampin' Up! Ornate Garden Thank You card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

The Ornate Layers Dies in this suite are exquisite! They really add a beautiful layer to any card! I love how there’s one that fits the note cards perfectly! Here’s the details:

Card Base: Whisper White Note Card
Old Olive layers: 3 3/8 x 4 7/8, 2 3/16 x 3 9/16
Early Espresso Layer: 3 1/2 x 5 cut with Ornate Layers Die
Whisper White Layer: 2 1/16 x 3 7/16
Stamp Daisy from Ornate Style Stamp Set in Early Espresso on Whisper White piece toward the top.
Color Daisy with Old Olive and Daffodil Delight Blends.
Stamp Thanks from Ornate Thanks Stamp Set in Early Espresso on Whisper White piece along the bottom.
Adhere all the layers together.
Add 3/4 x 2 1/16 piece of DSP to Whisper White layer.
Add Old Olive ribbon from Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack with Mini Glue Dot.
Stamp and color envelope to coordinate.

You can easily adapt any note card to a standard size card. One way is simply to cut a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of coordinating cardstock and adhere the note card on top.

My family likes to recycle the cards I send them. It’s really kind of comical to see how they reuse them. I thought I would make is easier for them from now on by sending note cards. Here’s another quick tip/trick with note cards…

Cut a piece of coordinating cardstock 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and score it at 4 1/4. Then cut the note card in half. Adhere the top piece to the front of the card and turn over the other piece to adhere the written part to the inside of the card. Now you have a clean white piece to write on the inside. Quick & easy!!!

Which one do you prefer?

You can use note cards in so many ways! I shared previously how I used a note card (I stamped on the wrong side) to make a unique fun fold. Click HERE or on the image below to see the original post.

You could easily adapt this card to use with the Ornate Style stamp set or any floral stamp.

I hope you enjoyed today’s cards and tips & tricks! I love the Ornate Garden Suite so much I am featuring it in my monthly tutorials. Check out my Just Stampin’ Rewards below.
